Moving house
Clear out what you are not taking before the move. It saves packing and moving things you will only throw out later. A bin also helps after you arrive, for packaging and the previous owner's leftovers.
With up to 7 days' hire, you can book the bin for the week before you move and fill it as you go.
Garage and shed clean-outs
Garages and sheds collect years of broken tools, old paint tins and chemicals. Sort those out first, because paint, chemicals, oils and batteries cannot go in any bin.
The rest, from old shelving to broken furniture, can go straight in. See what can go in a skip bin for a fuller list.
Getting more into the bin
A little planning means fewer surprises at collection.
- Break down flat-pack furniture and boxes.
- Put big, flat items in first, then fill the gaps.
- Mattresses and bed bases are accepted at $42 per item.
- Keep the load below the rim. An $80 fee may apply to overfilled bins.
